Dakota Dunes was tempting because of the lake, but I had to go with Rapid on this one. It's near the back hills/Deadwood, it has the barn and corral and the house is nice.

**Rain Man** · 11-21-2016, 09:31 PM

My rankings:

Mitchell - Terrible curb appeal, but the great room is very nice. It's not walkable, but it's bikeable to get to services. I could live there. It edges out Pierre barely, purely due to square footage.

Pierre - It must be mislabeled, because you can't have a 13 br house in 2,300 square feet. I'm assuming it should be three br. Either way, I like this house a lot. There's not a lot of stuff in Pierre, but it's convenient to that stuff. It's pretty much a coin flip between this house and Mitchell.

Sioux Falls - Nice interior spaces (I like the bar), and it's a good sized house in a nice setting. My only major downgrade is that it's not located near anything so you'd have to drive everywhere.

Rapid City - I like the exterior, but it's clear that they used really cheap fixtures and doors and stuff. It's a shame because the setting is very nice.

Dakota Dunes - It's a nice house, and outside is interesting even if a bit chunky. However, the dimensions of the rooms seem a little odd, and I wonder if you get windows broken by the golf course nearby. It's not located near any services, though it's cool that it's within 500 feet of being the southernmost home in South Dakota.

It would indeed be nice to have a 20-acre refuge like that. I had to go with Mitchell, but looking at the Rapid house, it's actually surprisingly well located.

**rockymtnchief** · 11-21-2016, 10:31 PM

I lived in Rapid City for four years. I'd have no problem going back.

**The Franchise** · 11-21-2016, 10:56 PM

I've driven by that house in Pierre over a thousand times.

**Gadzooks** · 11-21-2016, 11:53 PM

I picked Pierre. It has a very convenient location for my family, (of whom, only I have a drivers license), plus - with the 13 bedrooms, there'd be plenty of room for storage.

Whatever part of SD I don't have to pick rocks. I got enough shit to worry about without moving to an area I gotta pick rocks before I can do my job. Funk dat.

Yeah I have to have some kind of mountains near me even if they are dinkers like the Black Hills. With that being said, when you do ND, just send the 50K my way.

**DaneMcCloud** · 11-22-2016, 12:11 AM

Homes are $1 million in SD?

ClevelandBronco · 11-22-2016, 12:18 AM

There are entire sections of some of these houses I'd never even visit.

Nightfyre · 11-22-2016, 07:21 AM

Far be it for me to criticize a Rain man poll, but personally I feel this poll lacks the primary options that would appeal to people who would want to live in this region. Where are the farms and ranches Rain man?!

Holy shit, ain't that the truth.
